Abstract

The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) will utilise satellite data for the spatial mapping of marine fisheries and mangrove resources in the country, said A Gopalakrishnan, Director, CMFRI.
Speaking at the valedictory function of the Winter School organised by CMFRI to train young researchers in using satellite remote sensing data, he said that the spatial mapping of marine fisheries resources would help in locating fishing areas, navigational channels, and protected areas distinctively in open sea waters.
